Saint of the day · August 14

¹ For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

² His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

³ There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

⁴ Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

⁵ Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

⁶ At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

⁷ You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

⁸ You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

⁹ when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.

¹⁰ Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

¹¹ Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

¹² He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
